Pros: Value.
Cons: Pick up / drop off - bus took a very long time to arrive in the cold with resulting crowds and rush at pick up location. Saw 3 Avis busses in the same time frame, and drop off was just as bad. No one to accept vehicle, and long wait for bus.

Cons: The pick-up process was far to slow. Waited about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus and then over an hour to get the car. I know there were some extenuating circumstances, but it was apart of the experience that easily could have been better.

Cons: I called Budget’s local (Denver airport) number to ascertain where the shuttle pickup point was. I reached a national location, where the associate asked me to call the local number, and gave me the same number I had dialed.

Unethical pricing
Pros: Vehicle was nice.
Cons: When booked quoted approx $575. At counter the price was $1700. Unethical! Did not have time at counter to discuss with agent.

Pros: The car was exactly what I wanted. I was pleased that Budget provided what I had intended to rent.
Cons: I'm very pleased with the rental, but on the last day the driver window operated haltingly. When I first started by trip back to Denver Airport, the temperature was -3 degrees F. My driver side window was open for the first mile or so of the trip while I slowly closed the window by repeatedly hitting the button.

First and last time to rent from Budget
Pros: First, there were lots of employees behind the rental counter so that the line wasn't long and it moved quickly. Then, a very nice employee named Amar rescued us from what was shaping up to be a terrible experience with Budget. He came out to where we were waiting, and said immediately, "Take this car. I will take care of the paper work." And we did, and he did.
Cons: Stood in the cold outside the terminal as bus after bus passed us by: 3 from Avis, 3 from Hertz, 2 from Enterprise--finally after 15 or 20 minutes a Budget bus came by. When we got to the rental car counter we were told "our car was not ready, but we could rent a much better one for only $15 a day." When we insisted, they said we would have to wait outside on the diamond island for our car. It was freezing, the wind was blowing, overcast, and no car. After 5 minutes of waiting I went back in and insisted we get a car, and a very nice man named Amar came to our rescue.

Made a reservation, but ended up without a car
Cons: I made a reservation online to pick-up a car the same day. I showed up with about 20 minutes before they closed, only to be informed that there were two cars left in their inventory and they only had two reservations in their computer. The problem was that there were three people waiting with confirmed reservations in the lobby and none of us were the two reservations listed in his computer. When I asked 'if one of the reservations in the system did not show up in the next 15 minutes could I have the remaining car?', he said he was leaving in 15 minutes, so it didn't matter. Overall, a very frustrating experience that left us without a car when we really needed one. All parts of this process failed, from the reservation to the customer service.

Dirty, inside of windshield filthy, oil change reminder flashing.
Pros: Not much good to say.
Cons: Bus dropped off at least 30 people - only 3 agents working with a 4th added after a long wait. Already slow process made worse by constant upselling. Dodge Durango had obviously not been cleaned in some time, the inside of the windshield was so dirty that I could see where previous customers had tried to wipe it with their hands. It was unsafe driving into the sun. The car had numerous Nicks and dings that I didn’t notice until I arrived at my destination. The flashing oil change reminder was a constant reminder that the car was not being properly maintained. All in all an extremely disappointing experience. Good by!
